Video!! Insight into Camaro performance and Handling
Alright...its not the camaro...but its the car with the early Zeta platform...a little weaker engine...slimmer tires...but still does .3 less than a 911 Turbo on the TOP GEAR track
Heres the video...please watch...the camaro can only be better than this car...but this car should offer a "preview" to people who want to know what an SS might handle like http://video.google.com/videosearch?...=top+gear+VXR# Its awesome...and the Brits actually love this car in the end...so does that mean that they should automatically love the new camaro...it would seem so |

Been posted here a while back. I have the full episode on itunes. Definitely should reassure anyone worried about performance and handling, and probably previews a favorable review for the Camaro!

Exactly. The point is, if a larger sedan can do that, imagine what a smaller sport coupe will do given similar mechanicals and engineering.

No doubt performance will be pretty good, besting most likely the other modern muscle cars but she will still be a fatty when optioned up. Cant wait to see some track/test times, they should be starting to spill in Motor Trend, et al. in the next couple of months...i guess IF GM let's them.
